All motor driven conveyances, whether automobiles, motorcycles, motor scooters or motor bikes, regardless of size, shape or number of wheels are herein defined as vehicles. All privately owned vehicles (as opposed to University-owned vehicles) while in operation or parked within the confines of Chapman University are restricted to the use of regularly designated parking lots and driveways. Chapman University reserves the right to withdraw motor vehicle privileges from any University employee or student at any time for cause.

The State of California requires that any person driving a motor vehicle must have a driver's license and the license must be for the type and class of vehicle being driven.

Thus, Chapman University requires all persons requesting a parking registration (permit) to be a licensed driver.

D. Receiving an annual parking permit (regardless of type) or temporary parking permit does not guarantee a reserved parking space for an individual. It does, however, give you the privilege to park and/or drive on property owned and/or operated by Chapman University. E.
